Americas Premier Joint Warfighting Base and Air Mobility Center of Excellence McGuire AFB: Energy Neutral by 2015? Key Air Mobility Command airbase on East Coast Designated one of two AF Model Energy Bases Set the ambitious goal to be off the grid by 2015 Can we do it given: Historically the USAF is an energy consumer, not producer? Geographic location? Abundance of old, inefficient legacy infrastructure? Limited resources?
